Finger joint pain I suffered with an extremely painful finger joint. I would watch TV with a bag of frozen peas wrapped around the finger. A full night's sleep was impossible. My GP - whilst sympathetic- led me to believe that nothing could be done. Fortunately I was referred to Mr Naqui and his team. He suggested a knuckle replacement!! Post op - I'm completely pain free. Peas are for eating and a full night's sleep possible. There seems to be little awareness of this procedure so I feel very lucky that I met up with Mr Naqui and his professional caring team. Special thanks to Donna who was always at the end of the phone!

The initial consultation with Mr Naqui was very informative about the Dupuytrens condition and the process of the fasciectomy and I felt reassured that it would be worth having the surgery done. On the 2nd February I had the Dupuytrens fasciectomy on my right little finger which was permanently bent. I am very pleased with the results and my finger is now almost straight and moves well from straight to a tight fist. I had 4 visits to Lindsey, a hand therapist, who managed the wound took the stitches out ,provided exercises and made a splint for overnight. She worked on the scar tissue and movement. She was excellent and I feel her therapy has been an essential part of the recovery and success of my fasciectomy.

I saw Mr Naqui with a large ganglion cyst on the back of my hand, that was uncomfortable and restricting movement in my wrist. I had an excision procedure under general anaesthetic towards the end of January 2022. Since then my hand and wrist have healed brilliantly, and with hand physiotherapy I am regaining my strength and range of motion. Thanks Mr Naqui for your excellent care; I am glad I found you!

I had surgery on my hand, Carpal Tunnel. Unfortunately there were complications and my pain became much worse. I was passed on to Mr Naqui and I am so glad. He inspired confidence from the moment I met him. He knew exactly what the problem was and told me what he was going to do. He told me that he concentrated on working only from fingers to elbow. I was advised that the surgery would take place at The Spire Hospital in Manchester and was given an admission date. I noticed an immediate improvement from the moment I awoke following surgery. At the follow up appointment Mr Naqui told me that the best results could only be obtained by committing to hard work with my physiotherapist, Sarah. This was proved to be correct as Sarah, an excellent physiotherapist who specialised in hand therapy, gave me a long list of exercises. It was clear that Mr Naqui and Sarah worked closely and, certainly in my case, very successfully together. This was very reassuring for me as I was aware that I would need surgery on my other hand in the near future. I highly recommend Mr Naqui, and the team he chooses to work with, as an excellent surgeon and someone who kept me well informed at each stage of my treatment and recovery.
